Sure, no problem.Would they work on a white paper backdrop?
Depends on how big it is and how far away the light is from it, but generally speaking, yeah, one light will work. That said, you'll likely want a second light for your subject if you've dedicated the one you have to coloring the background.Do you think one speedlight (sb600) is enough to color the whole backdrop or do you think I need another light?
Not if you don't want them to. It's a matter of your aperture setting and the ambient light that will also play into the mix. You can adjust from just a slight tint of color all the way to the full neon-rich color you often see.Do they always look so neon-y?
Here's a few of mine:And lastly... please post pics of your gelled backgrounds if you use them! I would love to see them!
K so just to be clear on this when you have a 9ft white seamless backdrop I can effectively light it with one Sb-600. Because I must be doing something wrong.
Is it the limited space I have with the light from the backdrop to subject distance. Granted I was trying to do a two person shot but I got wicked fall out. So what is the appropriate light to backdrop to subject distance that would eliminate this.
